There is nothing that can truly prevent a court from wearing out after a long period of time. This holds especially true for outdoor courts where the elements constantly beat down on the court causing it to crack in extreme cases. For both aesthetic and safety purpose it is best to repair the courts periodically. A worn out court is one of the most discouraging factors for a player who is planning on joining a tennis club. High quality
crack fillers and
leveling materials for asphalt and concrete are readily available.
Repairing the court generally starts with a power washing to clean the surface and to clean out cracks, peeled areas or holes in the surface. Unevenness and depressions are also treated using
specialized repair products.
There are many choices. You can reapply a 100% acrylic
court surface paint or add resilience with
cushioned coatings. No matter what you decide to do you should plan your next move and make sure that you do it right the first time.
